Most Favorable Review

Excellent

Aposonic A-E700CH 700 TV Lines MAX Resolution HI-RES Outdoor Waterproof Color CCD Camera
Aposonic A-E700CH 700 TV Lines MAX Resolution HI-RES Outdoor Waterproof Color CCD Camera

Pros: Sharpest $100 NTSC non-HD camera that I have used. Excellent night image, consistent IR lighting, no halos or washout at center. Cable runs through sturdy mount, no exposed wires. Aposonic support. Outperforms some cameras costing 3x.

Cons: Non-linear slightly fisheye image. Not an issue at this price.

Overall Review: Just bought two more. Using 16 port Aposonic DVR, currently nine cameras, this is the best image. Others are Vonic eyeball types and cheaper Aposonic. Image is equal to $300 Samsungs used at work. .

Most Critical Review

No RJ45 connector

Vonnic A7002 BNC to RJ45 Video Balun
Vonnic A7002 BNC to RJ45 Video Balun

Pros: Works with Ethernet cable.

Cons: Look at the picture- no RJ45, uses an unterminated cable pair.

Overall Review: More attention to detail required, both at NewEgg and myself.

Quick look at a few negatives or slides

DIGITNOW Film Scanners with 22MP Converts 126KPK/135/110/Super 8 Films, Slides & Negatives All in One into Digital Photos, 2.4" LCD Screen, Impressive 128MB Built-in Memory
DIGITNOW Film Scanners with 22MP Converts 126KPK/135/110/Super 8 Films, Slides & Negatives All in One into Digital Photos, 2.4" LCD Screen, Impressive 128MB Built-in Memory

Pros: Scan standalone using adapter or connected to PC using USB power. PC sees devices as SD card. Slides or flat negatives push through, no installing in adapter. Reasonable snapshot image quality Can scan 8mm film strip image.

Cons: Very lightweight, enough quality so it works, that’s all. Toy. Not for serious scanning: slow, awkward to align. Curled negatives will not push through, get stuck, damaged. Takes two buttons to scan one image, very strange Cannot see image on PC while scanning, low resolution screen, narrow viewing angle. Smaller negative or filmstrip less pixels lower quality image.

Overall Review: Would be more useful with better negative adapter. Probably smarter to buy cardboard cell phone holder.

Gigabyte GTX 1060 OC 6Gb

GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-N1060WF2OC-6GD
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Graphics Card GV-N1060WF2OC-6GD

Pros: It was one sale at NE

Cons: No compatible drivers for W10x64 Enterprise version! Technical support: register then wait 5-7 days for response; no chat. Asks for BIOS version- I don’t want to remove card to find it. Windows Device Manager has no information only shows Windows drivers. Included CDROM is not product specific and is obsolete- e.g. includes “ATI drivers” and “install Direct X 9.0” Some of the English speaking folks who create the ads should be used to translate Chinese into proper English. Very poor presentation of company image to English speaking market.

Overall Review: $15 Rebate submitted Dec 5 - still waiting.

2m 7mm 6LED USB Borescope Endoscope Waterproof Inspection Tube Video Camera New
2m 7mm 6LED USB Borescope Endoscope Waterproof Inspection Tube Video Camera New

Pros: Works, requires very small software driver & program.

Cons: Image quality is worse than an old TV; and even a little motion blurs picture; LEDs are insufficient, requires much more light, almost useless in the dark.

Overall Review: There are dozens of these for sale at the Egg, they all seem to have the same specs no matter what price.

Used!

MSI Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R6850-PM2D1GD5
MSI Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card R6850-PM2D1GD5

Pros: It may work just fine.

Cons: No shrink wrap, "used" box has been opened, DVD jacket crumpled, looks like a return. What is going on, New Egg?

Overall Review: I paid almost $200 in a new one, not a open box used one. I'd really rather have a new one even if this works OK. Let's see how this turns out.
